Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager recall: The right and left side curtain air bags may have insufficient pressure

Recall published 7 months ago

The right and left side curtain air bags may have insufficient pressure retention. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number…

The hazard: Airbag or restraint defect

The supplementary restraint system is the subject of this campaign, so the car drives entirely normally with the fault present.

What the notice says: Air bags with insufficient pressure retention increase the risk of ejection and injury during a crash.

Why it matters: The airbag or its inflator may not deploy correctly, may deploy without a crash, or may send fragments into the cabin when it fires. The system is meant to be the last line of protection, so a fault in it is only discovered at the worst possible moment.

What to do about Airbag

Chrysler — The supplementary restraint system is the subject of this campaign, so the car drives entirely normally with the fault present.

  1. Treat this as a high-priority repair rather than something to fit around your next service.
  2. Call any franchised dealer for the brand, give them the campaign number from this page, and ask them to confirm parts are in stock before you book — part supply, not labour, is what delays a fresh recall.
  3. If the airbag warning light is on, say so when you book — it changes the diagnosis and sometimes the parts needed.
  4. Do not fit seat covers or dashboard accessories over an airbag module while the campaign is open.

Getting the repair booked and paid for

The money side of a vehicle recall is simple. The scheduling side is where people lose weeks.

  • Ask whether the parts are physically in stock before you accept a date. A booking without parts is a wasted morning.
  • If the dealer says the remedy is not yet available, ask to be put on their notification list and get that in writing by email.
  • Where the manufacturer has issued an interim measure — park outside, do not drive, a software limiter — follow it until the full remedy is done.
  • Reimbursement claims for earlier out-of-pocket repairs go to the manufacturer, not the dealer, and need the original itemised invoice.
